MG Car Service in Dubai: Independent MG Service Garage

MG major and minor service

We work through the items MG's maintenance plan sets for the interval the car has reached. Any worn part the inspection turns up is replaced as well.

MG oil service

Our oil service drains the engine, fits a new oil filter and refills with the grade and quantity in that model's manual. The MG 3 manual calls for 0W-20 that meets ACEA C5 and API SP.

The MG 3, MG 5, GT and ONE tables list 4 litres of oil, while the HS 2.0T and the RX9 take 4.8 litres.

MG engine repair

Coolant loss, a misfire or an oil leak on an MG leads us to the failed hose, coil or seal, which we then replace.

The MG 3, MG 5, GT and ZS use 1.5 litre petrol engines, coded GS64 in the MG 3. A 1.5 litre turbo (1.5T) powers the GT, ZS, HS and ONE, and a 2.0 litre turbo (2.0T) also serves the HS.

MG transmission service and gearbox check

We read the gearbox fault memory, renew a leaking seal or failed sensor, and refill with the fluid MG lists for that unit.

The MG 3, ZS and ONE use a CVT, which holds 6.86 litres of fluid in the MG 3 and 7.5 litres in the ONE. The HS pairs its 1.5T with a DCT 280 and its 2.0T with a 9-speed automatic that takes 7.2 litres. The RAKAN has an 8-speed automatic and a transfer case.

MG brake repair

We replace pads and discs in axle sets and renew the brake fluid, which is DOT 4 in the MG 3 and RAKAN manuals. On the ZS and HS, rear pad work starts with the electric parking brake retracted by diagnostic tool.

The base MG 3 grade has drum brakes at the rear, and the HS has ventilated discs at the front.

MG suspension service, wheel alignment and steering alignment

A knock over bumps, tyres wearing on one edge or a car that drifts sideways sends us to the dampers, bushes and links. The worn part is replaced, then wheel and steering geometry is set to close the job.

The MG 3, ZS, GT, HS and MG 4 use McPherson front suspension. At the rear, the MG 3, ZS and GT have a torsion beam, the HS a multi-link axle and the MG 4 a 5-link axle.

The RAKAN combines a double-wishbone front with a five-link rigid rear axle. The MG 7 adjusts its damping in real time through mCDC.

MG AC service and repair

We pinpoint the leak, swap the failed part and refill the circuit by weight with the refrigerant the model takes.

On R-134a, the MG 3 takes 460 g, the MG 5 and GT 540 g and the GCC MG 7 510 g. The ONE takes 560 g, the RX9 1,140 g, and a RAKAN 900 g with dual-zone AC or 620 g with single-zone AC.

The MG 4 runs on R-1234yf instead: 580 g, or 660 g with the heat pump.

MG battery replacement

Our battery check load-tests the 12 V unit and measures the charging output, and a charging fault is repaired at the alternator. A battery that fails its test gives way to one of the original type and specification. The MG 7 and MG 4 manuals both ask for that match.

On the MG 7, the 12 V battery sits in the front compartment and needs no topping-up.

MG electrical repair

We follow an MG electrical fault from its stored code to the failed wire, plug or module, and that part is repaired or renewed.

GCC rows first

The GT manual prints its own GCC fuel rows. They call for RON 91 or higher in the 1.5 litre PFI and RON 95 or higher in the 1.5T GDI. We work from the GCC row wherever an MG manual gives one.

Gearbox version confirmed

An MG GT pairs its 1.5 litre engine with a CVT and its 1.5T with a dual-clutch gearbox. One model name can hide 2 gearboxes, so we identify the gearbox by its engine before choosing fluid or parts.

Measured against MG's limits

We measure pads and discs against the figures in the manual for the model. An MG 7 keeps pads of at least 2 mm, front discs of 28 to 30 mm and rear discs of 8 to 10 mm. On a RAKAN, disc wear stays under 1.5 mm a side.

Battery sensor protected

When we jump-start or charge an MG 3, the negative lead goes to the body earth point, not the battery negative. That keeps the car's battery reading accurate. Its battery sensor stays connected unless the job calls for its removal.

Engine code before oil

A RAKAN runs the SC20M218Q6A 2.0 litre diesel or the 20A4E 2.0T petrol. The diesel takes 4.7 litres of ACEA C3 5W-30, and we fill the petrol with 4.8 litres of C5 0W-20.

MG dealer work referred

The MG 4 manual restricts work on its high-voltage system to qualified personnel. Our team refers high-voltage work on the MG 3 HEV, HS Hybrid+, MG 8 PHEV, MG 4 Electric and Cyberster to an MG dealer. Driver-assistance calibration, rebuilds and special-tool jobs go there as well.
